The World Cup is over, and it was pretty rough on Brazil. Not only did their national team face what was almost certainly its most embarrassing defeat in history, but the event was marred by protests, and the country is now saddled with a number of stadiums in places that don’t have teams big enough to support them.
The good news is that, even though FIFA pretty much just leaves a path of destruction wherever they go, the soccer players don’t. Mesut Özil, a midfielder for the victorious German team, is donating part of the 300,000 euro bonus he received for winning the World Cup to pay for surgeries for 23 Brazilian children.
